The Infamous Meat Hook Brunch

When the sustainably-minded rock star butchers at The Meat Hook began hosting a brunch for just a single table for two at the shop once a week, it immediately became one of the most coveted and elusive reservations in the Brooklyn. Lucky brunchers are plied with course after course of delectables and copius amounts of booze. The meal ends in a melange of joy, pain and shame only when the diners fail to complete a course.

Blogger Jen of Quick & Curious was lucky enough to score a seat at The Hook’s infamous brunch last week. She writes: “On Saturday, we had brunch at The Meat Hook. It consisted of five beers, two shots of brandy, two glasses of whiskey, two picklebacks, two shots of ‘punishment’… and food. Lots and lots of food.”
